The article is devoted to the study and analysis of functioning of allusive antroponym as a stylistic device in a literary text of Charles Dickens's novel “Dombey and Son”. The article proposes to consider allusive antroponym as an implicate within the framework of language personality theory, developed in the works of V.N. Telia and Yu.N. Karaulov, and a communicative approach to the literary text analysis. This point of view allows us to take a fresh look at the stylistic device of allusion and its role in a literary text, namely, as a structure that realizes content-conceptual information.
